It's just sad how the corporate-government complex wastes taxpayer money suing itself. Ripple and the government are two sides of the same scam. One scammer operating a monetary ponzi scheme is suing another scammer for taking advantage of the ponzi to scam other people... Using the tax money of the actual victims to pay for the legal proceedings and/or damages that one scammer did to the other scammer.

Meanwhile, both scammers pretend to be working for the victims... And many of the victims are so f** stupid, they actually believe one side or the other.

I blame Hollywood for brainwashing everyone into believing that every story has a good guy and a bad guy. WRONG. Most stories in our society only have bad guys.

That's an old argument, best summarized as "when it comes to milking the masses, the government does not like competition"
